Three people were arrested at a home on Starnes Road in Salisbury on March 16 and charged with contributing to the neglect of a minor. 

Anna Marie Atkinson, 31, William Tyler Cunningham, 31, and Catherine Annette Atkinson, 62, all face the same charge for misdemeanor contributing to the neglect of a minor after deputies found the children in the home living in squalor-like conditions. 

The Department of Social Services was called in to investigate safety concerns for two kids living in the home. 

According to reports from the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, there was a strong smell of decay coming from the home. Discarded trash and food, among other items, were scattered around the home. Roaches were reportedly found in the fridge and freezer.

A dog in the home reportedly had an open tumor leaking discharge. It was also reported that the home did not have running water and was using water from a neighbor’s home to flush the toilets.

The ages of the children were not released by the department.
